Pediatric Robotic Surgery

Email

Dr. Craig Peters, a pediatric urologist and internationally known robotic and minimally invasive surgery expert, talks about how robotic assisted surgery can be applied to pediatric urology for common conditions including pyeloplasty for obstruction and ureteral reimplantation for vesicoureteral reflux. As technology advances, minimally invasive surgical procedures, including robotic assisted surgeries, are being applied in more procedures for children because they are beginning to show significant benefits over traditional open surgery, including smaller incisions, less pain, and faster recovery times.
